How does a mini jet engine work? How does it compare to a real jet engine?

Does a mini jet engine use the same type of engine as a real aircraft would? If not, is it even possible to buy a mini jet engine that acts the same as a real jet engine?|||They are "real" jets.


Due to scaling restrictions in a model jet engine compared to a full scale one, the compressor unit used is often rather larger than scale.


The operating principles are otherwise identical.|||I can only imagine that it does the same, only in miniscule proportions. The only problem is that the smallest jet engine I have seen is a pair of helicopter jets welded to the sides of a Vespa. If you call that mini, then it pretty much does the same as the huge version.





I can hardly imagine a small-sized version of the jet engine like what they did with the single piston 2-stroke types used in RC toy vehicles. Although it may be possible, the small scale of metal casts may not have enough strength to withhold the power.|||Yes, mini-jets are the same as full scale. The differences are only in the way the fuel is injected and any pre-treatment it may go through. Full scale engines may use more injectors or pre-heat the fuel for viscosity's sake. Military jet engines have an afterburner chamber that you won't see on a model.


Here's some info.

Jet engines work on a "suck, squeeze, bang and blow" principle.


SUCK- in air containing oxygen.


SQUEEZE - /compress the air.


Mix it with fuel and combust - BANG


Eject a jet of hot gasses - BLOW
